Don Juan Legend - Princeton Legacy Library

Marc Notes: Translated from the German.; Originally published in 1924, this study of the Don Juan legend is a powerful interpretation of one of the most popular themes in Western culture. Also valuable for the insights it offers into Rank's thought immediately before his break with Freud, the book has not been available in English until now.
